Tulip didn't remember much about what the voice had said. But she did remember the part where there was a winner. That meant there was a prize! She had to win the prize! But wait, she needed a monster for that, didn't she? Or was she thinking of something else?
Tulip floated around in a circle, as storm clouds began to gather overhead.

Gru'a'thulan crawled through the bushes. He was upset.
He was a Logosmorph, a rabbit with incredible intelligence and psychic abilities, and a second brain on the outside of his head. And he had been exiled from his tribe for his belief that human dominance of this world had to end.
How could the others be so shortsighted? They were worried about human retaliation, but why be afraid of the inferior human intellect? Cowards, all of them.
He needed to find other monsters to join him. They might not have the intelligence of a Logosmorph, but so long as they could be persuaded - or if necessary, manipulated - to fight for his cause, they would be useful.
Then Gru'a'thulan was struck by lightning.

"Are you okay, Mr. Bunny Rabbit?" Tulip asked.
Gru'a'thulan slowly got up. He did not recognize the creature before him; it was no monster he had ever seen before, or even heard of.
He tried speaking telepathically to it.
Who are you?
"I'm Tulip! Are you a monster? I'm going to win the prize! Whee!"
The creature's mind was inscrutable. It seemed to forget most information almost immediately...
And then, Gru'a'thulan felt something strange in its mind.
And then it began to snow.
"Ooh! It's snowing! Do you turn white in the winter, Mr. Bunny Rabbit? Oh, I think I'll call you Freddie! Come on, Freddie!"
Freddie... no, that wasn't his name! But he could not remember what it used to be. As soon as the large flower-butterfly had given him a name, he found himself bound to her.
But he did not forget his cause. Nor the fact that a strange signal had emerged in the creature's mind just before the snow began.
Perhaps his plans could proceed after all.

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
